MOBILE, Ala.–New Horizons CU has been recognized by America Saves as a recipient of the 2023 Designation of Savings Excellence Award (DOSE) for its work in helping Americans improve financial stability.
The coveted honor highlights financial institutions that made an extraordinary effort to promote positive saving behaviors in their community during the annual America Saves Week campaign.
The America Saves’ Designation of Savings Excellence is awarded to financial institutions that display exceptional achievement by motivating individuals to become more financially stable.

“America Saves has the distinct honor of working with financial institutions that actually care about their customers and members,” said Kia McCallister-Young, director of America Saves. “That has always been a stand-out point to me, that the organizations that participate in America Saves Week go the extra mile; there’s no requirement to join this campaign, they’re here because they WANT to be, and they believe in the message of helping their employees, constituents, and community be more financially confident. We’re thrilled to honor these financial institutions and highlight their hard work.”
“We are indeed honored to receive the Designation of Savings Excellence award because New Horizons Credit Union’s mission embraces financial education. We will always offer free credit building and saving resources,” said Edith Franklin, president/CEO of New Horizons Credit Union.
